‘The Nun II’ Spooks Competition With Number One Debut at Domestic Box Office

Three new releases found spots in the top five this weekend.

The Big Picture After an understandable pandemic-era stumble, The Conjuring Universe appears to be back on track with The Nun II, which claimed the top spot in its debut weekend at the domestic box office. The film grossed an estimated $32.6 million across three days, after debuting with $13.1 million on Friday. While this is a solid-enough opening by franchise standards, it falls short of The Nun’s $53 million debut in 2018.

Reviews for The Nun II — not that reviews for horror movies have traditionally mattered — have been mixed. The film currently sits at a “rotten” 45% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and it managed only a C+ CinemaScore from opening day audiences, which doesn’t bode well for its future. Horror movies tend to have hefty second-weekend drops, especially when audience reaction isn’t positive.
